The Flint Hills Scenic Byway runs on Kansas Highway 177 from Council Grove to Cassoday, through Morris, Chase and Butler counties, in the FLINT HILLS OF KANSAS. The Flint Hills Scenic Byway passes through the Tallgrass Prairie, the last remaining piece of untouched prairie in North America, and crosses the Santa Fe Trail.
On Thursday, 22 Sep 2005, the Federal Highway Administration announced that the Flint Hills Scenic Byway was named National Scenic Byway for its natural, recreational, historic and scenic qualities. Also named was the Wetlands and Wildlife Scenic Byway on Kansas Highways 4 and 156 in Barton, Reno and Stafford counties. The Wetlands and Wildlife Scenic Byway extends for 77 miles through the Quivira National Wildlife Refuge and Cheyenne Bottoms. Congratulations to the supporters of both byways on a job well done.
If you are a member of the Creative Class and/or an experiential tourist, the FLINT HILLS OF KANSAS invites you to experience the Flint Hills Scenic Byway on one of your next travel experiences.
